Fires 3: Classroom
Behavior
The overall theme of the chapter was
to try and create a positive classroom environment and avoid negative behavior
by students. Much of this chapter was
about how to respond to student misbehavior, and to understand why it occurs so
it can be prevented.
As a future teacher, and one who has
observed classrooms, I feel these are very important issues. A teacher can’t do their job if students are
behaving badly and distracting other students in an out of control
classroom. Of course, this does not make
teachers enjoy the experience either.
This is why the idea of an unwritten bargain between students and the
teacher is so helpful. When the teacher
makes sure that their own actions help to support this bargain, students see
that, respect them for it, and should mostly return the respect. This is essential for maintaining order in
the classroom so that a positive learning experience can be had by all.
